IMPROVEMENT IN GALVANIC RING, BRACELET, OR NECKLACE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 204,502, dated June 4, 1878; application filed August 24, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EUGENE ADOLPHE OssELIN, of Paris, France, Optician, and ABRA- HAM MEYER, of Syracuse, in the State of New York, United States of America, optician, have invented a new and Improved Electric Rin g, Bracelet, or Necklace; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.

()ur invention relates to a new and improved electric ring, bracelet, or necklace, to be worn upon the person for ornament or medicinal purposes.

The wire which is to form the body of the ring, bracelet, or necklace is prepared by means of a drawing-plate, and is shown in section in Figure 4 of the accompanying drawings. One of the surfaces of this wire, after it has passed through the drawing-plate, is flat, and provided with longitudinal grooves, made by the drawing-plate, and in which are inserted the zinc-wire threads at a, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, in such manner that the said surface presents alternately a copper edge, a zinc thread, a, a copper thread, a zinc thread, a, and the opposite edge a copper one. This surface is intended to form the inner surface of the ring, bracelet, or necklace, as may be seen in Fig. 3 of the drawing.

The other surface of the wire, after passing through the drawin g-plate, is round, as in Figs. 1, 2, and 3; but its shape may vary, or be ornamented at pleasure. This latter surface is intended to form the outer surface of the ring, bracelet, or necklace.

We do not here claim the draw-plate or mode of making the ring, as these features will be embodied in a future application for Letters Patent; but

We claim An electric ring, bracelet, or necklace consisting of a metallic body, constituting the outer face, and bands or threads of another metal inserted in the body, and with the latter forming an inner face of alternate zones of elec- Eropositive and electro-negative metal, as set E. OSSELIN. A. MEYER. Witnesses:
